Worst Pain Ever

I had an Intra Uterine Device put in yesterday and it was the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. I went into shock and almost passed out. I knew it would hurt, but I’d taken my Ibuprofen and I’ve had tattoos, so I figured I had it under control. I was SO wrong. They have to put a clamp on your cervix, which was painful, but I was tolerating it. The actual insertion of the IUD was excruciating. They let me curl up in a ball on my side once they were done and made me take water and not sit up (not that I could have if I wanted to). I was gimpy all day yesterday, but today it’s much better. At least while I was at the doctor’s, there was a screaming child in the waiting room. It made the whole thing worth it. No babies for us for 10 years, woot! The doctor told me not to be put off about having children, because it won’t be as bad as the insertion. I think she’s lying. I’d totally do it again to avoid having kids, but now I know what I was in for. Holy hell.
